Falling

Chapter 4

I stood up and made my way to the window, looking out of it I could see the stone faces of the Hokage's that had passed on to the afterlife.

I walked to the door at the front of the room and opened it.

Looking down the hallway I saw a girl with pink hair.

"Umm excuse me" I said "can you please tell me where I could find the Hokage; I need to speak with her".

The girl looked at me blankly, and then she seemed to snap out of her daze.

"You must be Rayne, im Sakura, Lady Tsunade's apprentice I'll show you where she is"

Sakura started to lead me to Lady Tsunade's office.

As we left the hospital she started to tell me about the village and the people in it.

"Well when I stared out in the village as an academy student I was put into a team of 3, well we all were.

I was put in with Sasuke and Naruto" she smiled when she said Naruto's name "you've already met him but Sasuke… well he has chosen a different path to the rest of us" she looked upset but then suddenly the mood seemed to pass "Oh and you have to meet the rest of us, Hinata, Shino and Kiba are on a team and then there's Ino, Shikamaru and Choji and last but not least Lee, Neji and Ten-Ten, I think you met Lee before but in due time you will get to know everyone"

"Sakura I hope your not using your bad influence on Rayne now" the sudden voice startled us both and Sakura blushed when she saw Tsunade.

"Umm… Lady Tsunade I was just telling Rayne about the other Genin"

"Ok Sakura I need to talk to Rayne now so if you'll excuse us" Sakura nodded and left us to speak.

"Well Rayne what is it you wanted to speak to me about"

"Well…umm… you see I would like to stay in the village if that's not to much of a problem"

Tsunade smiled and nodded "I thought you would be asking that so I have already organised a place for you to be staying at.

I would also like to ask you a question" I nodded gesturing to ask away "Would you like to partake in training to become a ninja?" I stood in the middle of her office looking dumbfounded "Me… a ninja?"

"Yes Rayne. When you came to us I had one of the villagers to look over you. This particular villager possesses Beyakugahn, it enabled him to see the chakra networks within the body and yours are active. Which means I know that you have used jutsu before, so what's your answer?"

I stared at her determined expression and knew that it would be useless to refuse her "I accept your offer"

"Brilliant, I will give you a few more days to recover and then we will begin your training, I will have Sakura take you shopping for clothes and show you to your residence".
